About Us - Barndoor AI | Secure Access and Governance for AI and MCP
About Us
AI is reshaping how work gets done. Barndoor gives enterprises control over how it’s used, shared, and scaled — so teams can drive results without risking what matters.
Our founding team helped shape past technology revolutions — from pioneering secure API Management during the rise of mobile apps to driving enterprise AI adoption across Fortune 100 enterprises. We’ve seen firsthand that new technology only delivers real value when teams and companies trust the systems, data, processes, and people behind it.
Now, we’re using that experience to deliver the first Control Plane for Agentic AI.
